ABOUT ME

My name is Alex, and I'm from Peru, I love mountaineering and taking nature pictures (actually all kind of pictures), I also like movies and painting, going snorkeling is great as well and I love riding my bike too, despite my main job is about Informatics I try to spend much time traveling and exploring around the world where we live.
I've been living in Santiago, Chile for almost 9 years, it's a nice city.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to always help the ones that might need you at any time, life always tend to have things back some other time in future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During 2008 I traveled through some Latin American countries like Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, stayed at places of many people I knew through another hospitality site, also have been to Argentina and the US (San Francisco & NY). My latest CS experiences were during 2015 when I travel around the world with my girlfriend, met so many nice people!
